Trump says there are no talks between US and Iran

Washington Examiner · back to the audit

President Donald Trump shot down any indication that the United States is negotiating with Iran after the 60-day memorandum of understanding expired this week.

Trump's Truth Social post, as quoted: "There are no talks or conversations going on, or scheduled, with the Islamic Republic of Iran" / "The Naval Blockade remains in full force and effect." / "The Hormuz Strait is open and operating." / "All water mines have been removed or detonated."

Context: "But the 60-day deadline passed without either side agreeing on how to end the Iran war that began on Feb. 28." / "Tehran has remained in control of the Strait of Hormuz, which has driven up global gas and oil prices."
